Criminal Revision Petition No. 895/2008, Rakesh vs. State of Rajasthan in which co-accused has been released on bail by this order and his prayer is very simple that the case of the said petitioner is not distinguishable from the person who has been released on bail in the aforesaid criminal petition. Hence the present petitioner may be given similar treatment as was earlier given in the case of Rakesh vs. State of Rajasthan. Learned P. P. opposed the petition. For these reasons, I accept the petition of the petitioner provided he furnishes a personal bond through his natural guardian in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Principal Magistrate, Juvenile Justice Board, Bharatpur with the stipulation that on the subsequent date of hearing he shall appear before the said Court and any other date during the pendency of enquiry and the guardian shall keep proper look after the petitioner. ;
